Incursion

Playing Incursion in Battleborn, teams of heroes must defend their base from waves of AI-controlled minions. Meanwhile, you’re working together alongside your own minions to lead them to your opponent’s base. Then destroy it. Battleborn’s Incursion Mode drops you into the middle of a war zone, playing equal parts offense and defense. Get ready to take down some Sentries! Teams of heroes must defend their base from waves of AI-controlled minions while working together alongside their own minions to destroy their opponent's base.


 * Objective: - The goal is pretty simple: March your minions into enemy territory, make your way to their two Sentry bots – then destroy ‘em. Getting there is the tricky part.
 * Standing in your way: The other team is aiming to do the same exact thing. So the game quickly becomes a balancing act of defending your turf and escorting waves of minions on the assault.

Incursion At A Glance

 * Keep your eyes on the prize. Although kills will grant you XP, your primary targets are those two giant enemy spider Sentry Drones on the other side of the map. The first enemy Sentry Drone sits just past the midfield point of the map. The second, bigger Sentry Drone is situated at the far end of the map near the enemy team's base. Destroying the base Sentry Drone ends the game. Each Sentry is marked with a shield icon on the mini-map.
 * Destroy small and large Icon_Shards.png Shard clusters to collect Shards. Small clusters are available at the start of the game and large clusters spawn after two minutes then respawn two minutes after being destroyed.
 * Use Shards to purchase buildable tactical Structures which are located strategically around the map. These Buildables can then be upgraded using Shards to make them more efficient and more resistant to enemy attacks. Buildables will be available to purchase again approximately 20 seconds after they’ve been destroyed.
 * Automatic Turrets - Turrets have different types of offensive armaments and will attack any foe in sight, enemy minions and Battleborn alike.
 * Healing Station - The Healing station will regenerate health over time in an area around the station for the team who purchases it.
 * Accelerators - Accelerators give a speed boost to friendly Battleborn and minions when passing next to them, which will allow you to push the lane with power!
 * Super Minions - Super Minions can be purchased in the team’s base and are well worth the Shards. Their ability to sustain and deal more damage than other minions adds additional firepower to your team.

Tips And Tricks

 * Remember that the goal here is to punch through the enemy line and destroy their Sentry Drones – as tempting as it might be, don’t make the enemy Battleborn Heroes your priority.
 * Time your team pushes to the waves of Minions and let your minions take the brunt of the attack. Ranged heroes can hang back and help the minions chip away at the Sentry’s shields. As soon as the Sentry Drone’s shield is down, be ready to go all-in to damage it.
 * Use map elevation to your advantage. Ranged heroes can snipe enemies from afar while teammates flank enemies for easy kills and quick finishes.
 * Team composition matters – Offensive attackers are important, but a good Support or healer can be vital to keeping teammates in the fight. Heroes like Miko, Ambra, or Kleese can leave healing and shielding abilities at safe fallback locations.
 * Consider your teammates choices when choosing your hero. Pair Defensive Heroes, such as Montana, Attikus, or Boldur, with Support Heroes to help them hold the front line longer.
 * Be ready for the attack. Abilities like Oscar Mike’s Ultimate attack – Airstrike – are great for a bringing down big damage over large areas. Combine that with his Stealth ability, and you can sneak in and order the game-winning Airstrike on top of the last Sentry Drone. Other good distanced damage-dealers to consider: Ambra for her Extinction Event, and Benedict’s guided missile, Boomsday.
 * Be sure to push and push hard when enough of the enemy team is down and waiting to respawn.
 * Build, build, build! Buildable tactical structures are highly contested and provide strategic advantages or challenges and can turn the tide of a battle. Either team can purchase a structure with Icon_Shards.pngs or destroy an enemy’s structure.
 * Designate a player to be the primary Icon_Shards.png Shard collector and purchaser of tactical structures. Communicate with your team to plan when and where to purchase structures in order to maximize your offensive and defensive strategies and optimize your Shard-spending.
 * Hire those Thralls! Lurking on the sides of the map are capturable points that will allow you to hire hulking Thrall Mercenaries who will join your team and fight alongside you.
 * Don't forget to Teleport! Teleport allows you to quickly return to base and heal up after an intense battle. Late in the game when respawn timers get high, you're much better off taking the short amount of time needed to return to base than being knocked out of the game.
